I don’t know I just figured it was sort of an important launch and I wanted to be out here. I think this is my first launch with Apple coming out and it was something I wanted to do so what better time.

This is a 64 gig AT&T black iPhone and just to give you some sort of comparison, I mean a lot thinner, so much lighter although you probably can’t tell that. It’s cool. It’s really thin.

Well, I had the old 3GS phone. I was waiting _ when the 4S came out in the middle of last year I was expecting it to be the new body style as the 5 so I said oh, I’ll just wait, I didn’t realize I’d be waiting for a year but I was just really excitied to get a new phone. My old was in need of an upgrade.
